Trying to replace the dampers in my 1000sp 84
The new FAC ones have the top bolt inegrated, but otherwise seems to fit.
However, when I assemble the sping with the spring retainer, its too big to push through the tube at the threaded end.. does this mean I have to compress the spring while the...
So I was trying to fit the original Le mans airbox because with just the plenmum and a foam filter the midrange noise is painful.
With phf-36 carbs and the plastic manifolds ( https://www.stein-dinse.biz/product_info.php?products_id=1018 )
It seems the angle or length of the tubes from airbox...
Thank you!
Replaced the outer seal and installed the O-ring and after a 60km ride no drip :)
table spoon oil from the breather - but guessing thats normal, engine has less than 3 liters in it.
so the "outer" O-ring at the shaft was missing.
THe outer seal is leaking although replaced..
Couple questions to below picture- where do this gasket go? I dont see it in the manual, and there wasent an old one.
Also, those flaps of metals is missing on the bolts, does it matter?
Re-torqued heads this weekend, I found the plug was loose and missing it's gasket.. not sure if this is where oil was comming from but problem seems gone now.
One of the nuts on the final drive had oil around it, replaced it with new lock nut and new washer, also seems solved now.
I'm actually...
Thank you - great advice!
gearbox was overhauled by HMB so I assume it's not on that side.
I thought I had covered all bases on the engine side aside from the main bearing seal, the drip is much less than before, but I ssuppose you could be right about the bolts and the vent hose.
Just alot...
Thanks for the replies.
I took the brake calibers apart, the pistons and rubber parts looked new and moved perfectly, when using compressed air.
I removed som material of the pad and problem was solved.
Tire direction is correct, but since they were off the wheel for painting I suppose the...
So finally got my SP out and running, a few issues though.
1. left front caliber seems stuck, but it's kinda weird there is actually plenty room for the disc, but when I bolt the caliber on to the fork, the pad furthest away from the disc is pressed on the disc, but the pad closest to the wheel...
Thanks both of you.
I send the gearbox in to get checked and ahve seals and bearings replaced.
yes I got the le mans airbox, and was thinking removing the snortkel as you suggest, but an odd problem is the 2 rubber inlet tubes are just 5mm too short to reach the carb.. not sure if it's because...
Thanks for the advice Chris,
I have a set of open universal Leo Vince I had from another guzzi, they sound good and it perfomed well with them, however the looks are 90 style so eventually they will go.
I have a new Valeo starter on it.
How do you pressure test it exactly? put pressure on oil...
Chris, I'm nearing completion- but started in 2016 1.5 years in afghanistan, moving, divorce and all sorts of problems prevented me from working on it.
however it's already running now, in haste i dident replace clutch and main seal, which ofc is leaking now, so I need to get that soreted...
Thanks Chris, much helpful.
My SP is a rebuild project and much is changed.(changes listed below)
The dynotec box was smart for me hidden under the tank, return to rocker covers and outlet from the front cover with a 16mm hose- no valve,and a connection to open air. stainless on top.
But I...
I have electronic ignition, and the cam in it now doesent have the drive anyway :)
It just blows and rediculous amount of oil from the clutch housing, and I was afraid that this venting was the cause..
Guess I can just connect a hose to the valve at the original breather on the block, and...
Its stainless for one, removes all the clutter between the cylinders, also the valve is gone.
but the question was really if the function really is good enough venting from the front cover instead ?
Hi,
Anyone got experince with this system - stein-dinse.biz/product_info.php?products_id=6364
Developed by Dynotec. - theres a german PDF there explaining how it works, and I see some of the big cafe builders use it.
Block the original system and connect a hose to the front cover at the tacho...
